So I just resolved a month long spat with one of my closest friends.. and it was over a boy. It was stupid and petty, and I'm so glad it's over.
In order to understand the rest of this post, some background on the fight unfortunately is needed. Basically, I really liked someone, but as it so happened, she was being set up on a blind date with this guy ( I know, what are the chances??). But so when she refused the date because she realized how much it would hurt me, her family gave her major crap.
And this got me to thinking... because my friends family is always pressuring her to be in a relationship.. and as I started to think about it more and more, I started to get pissed off at her family.
You know why?
As women, WE.DON'T.NEED.GUYS. We don't need them to make us happy. WE need to make OURSELVES happy. What kind of women would we be if we let our only happiness be derived from weither we have a man in our lives or not?
I know that I am the most hypocritical person in writing those words since I have spent many nights bemoaning my single status, but you know what? That is ALSO okay. I'm not a die-hard feminist, so I'm not ashamed to say that I want a man. I want someone to hold my hand, to wrap his arms around me. I want that. I want a family and all that stuff.
But I shouldn't let that rule my life. And I try not too.
So I'm making a decision. I want to impact the world in a positive way. I want to make a difference in this world. I don't know how I'm going to get there, but God does. All I want to know is I want to be a influence to girls, I want to create a generation of girls who are tough but sensitive. And something tells me that it's going to be through my writing.
Because while guys can be awesome, us girls can be pretty bad-ass without them.
